Architecture Lobby Panel Discussion

Florence and Leo B. Helzel Boardroom, San Francisco Campus

Free and open to the public
More info: Amanda Sherwin,amanda.schwerin@cca.edu

Please join us for a panel discussion with Neeraj Bhatia, Peggy Deamer, Dean of Architecture Jonathan Massey, Eric Rogers, and Rosa Sheng to examine both the content and the form of change in the architectural profession.

 

The Architecture Lobby is an organization of architectural workers that advocates for the value of architecture in the general public and for architectural work within the discipline.

Why is it important to recognize that you-- an architecture student, an emerging architect, a firm owner -- are a worker?

Why should there be an activist organization to make this demand?

Members of the Architecture Lobby will present the organization's work to induce a debate on these controversial questions.

2016 Equity in Architecture Survey

The AIA SF Committee - Equity by Design is preparing for the 2016 Equity in Architecture Survey. Similar to the 2014 research study "The Missing 32% Project" this survey will have approximately 80 questions on the professional experiences, backgrounds, and aspirations of approximately 3,000 to 5,000 men and women who have graduated from Architecture schools and in the United States. Parallel survey tracks are to be provided for the following:

  • Individuals who are currently working in an architectural practice
  • Individuals who have worked in an architectural practice in the past, but are currently employed in another profession (either in an aligned AEC field or not)
  • Individuals who have worked in an architectural practice in the past, and who are either currently not employed, taking a career break or leave of absence.

As the largest and most comprehensive study launched nationally to date on this topic, this research project has the potential to impact architectural practice nationwide and establish a legacy data set over subsequent years studies.
